Philosophy:
My journey into health and fitness started by seeing my Mother struggle with her weight and confidence ever since I can remember. She did not have the support of friends or family or proper resources which lead to constant quick fix fad diets and the latest viral supplements promising rapid weight loss. It was not long before I was falling into unhealthy habits and the idealization of what I should look like. The downward spiral of “look like this not that” lead to eating disorders and Body Dysmorphic Disorder before I was a teenager.
Changing my mindset and building my knowledge in nutrition and exercise gave me the resources I needed to turn my perception around. So much so that I decided to enter into a NPC competition at the age of 40. Not to win a trophy, but to win the war against my Body Dysmorphic Disorder…… and in the end, I WON!
My drive, focus and purpose is to help clients achieve goals with accountability, support and tools for success. Every individual faces unique challenges and obstacles on their path to wellness; I am committed to providing the guidance and motivation needed to overcome them.
